While I congratulate both borough commanders from my constituency in securing promotions, they will both be much missed. How will you ensure continuity of the excellent work that has been done in Lambeth and Southwark by the outgoing commanders during the recruitment process for their successors?

Please can you update me on progress with this strategy in Enfield and Haringey. What proposals are you considering for the future in these boroughs?

In the face of unprecedented budget cuts, what areas of police work will the MPS prioritise for budget reductions in order to meet the funding shortfall in future years?

• Question by: Valerie Shawcross
• Meeting date: 08 June 2011

We do all support efficiency but cuts and the pressure of budgets do pose a danger that we could be losing essential expertise. There has been some coverage that you are planning to make cuts to the homicide and serious crime command teams and that there may be some merging with Trident. I would be very concerned that the quality and effectiveness of the excellent work that is done in those areas could be lost. Would you be making these cuts and these changes to these extremely expert teams if it were not for the enormous budget pressures that you...

Tim, do you share his optimism? Is that a target you can guarantee today?

A patrol base moved in one of my boroughs recently and inadvertently as a result of that local youths in the neighbourhood of the old patrol base got a signal that they were being paid less attention by the police. Do you recognise that closing a police station gives signals which may be above and beyond the value which you may attach in terms of numbers of visits?

Thank you for that answer, but you will recall that one of the issues that was raised at the five-borough planning meeting was the legacy. Really my question is about what guarantees we are building in to ensure that facilities that are built really can have the revenue in order that they can carry on, and we are not left in a position with so-called `white elephants- around the place.

Can I just press you: when you say "sign off" and "your assurance," we hear this, and people in Hackney and in east London have heard this time and time again, so can you just dig deeper? What do you mean? What guarantees are there that there will be a revenue stream and that these jobs that are created will stay local? I do not get a sense of what is happening and who is going to be leading. Will the LDA be leading on behalf of the Mayor to ensure that the legacy is longer than the Games?

Can I just take you round to the people. One of the riches of the city and one of the riches of the Games pitch is the diversity and the ethnic minority communities that are at the heart of this area of London. What guarantees do they have that they will be seen as part of a future in terms of jobs, or will they only be brought out to serve at the banquets?

Thank you, Chair. Before I start, I just want to say that I never in my wildest dreams thought we were going to get to this stage. It is so good that we have made such progress, and I just want to say, "congratulations" to the 2012 team and the LDA. You have done so much work so fast and so professionally, and I think Londoners should be really proud of you. You are a class act, and we deserve to win next year. I am really very pleased with what I have heard today. On the legacy, we have...
